The Masking Studio is such a great feature! I've never been much of a fan of drastic filters because although they make part of the picture look great, they commonly ruin (in my opinion) another part of the photo (like skin). I'm looking forward to seeing the type of images I can get out of FX Photo Studio with masking.

The good folks at MacPhun have given us a couple promo codes to give away to you! For a chance to win, let us know how many photos are in your camera roll!

FX Photo Studio is available on the iPhone for $1.99. Screenshots and video after the break.

Looking at a lean 575! I go on purges every month or 2 to keep it reasonable. I was really excited for finally being able to organized photos in iOS 5 until it just turned out that it sym linked things but they all stayed on the roll. Oh well, guess this will just motivate me to keep my photo roll organized.
